Foyer, a Bangalore-based startup, aims to help developers gain valuable insights into the missing aspects of their product. Their app, Tap Merlin, provides nudges to developers, which inform them about any flaws in their work.
As per Pratyush Rai, one of the co-founders of Foyer, the idea for the company originated during his time working at BCG. He saw firsthand the negative impact of a cash crunch on a large consumer products company and recognized the need to do something about it. Teaming up with his college friends, Siddhartha Saxena and Sirsendu Sarkar, Foyer was born.
Foyer’s current focus is on developers and providing nudges to improve their products, but they plan to expand to other industries where nudges could help people. One of the key benefits of Tap Merlin is that it does not require any integration with existing codebases, which makes it easy to use.
The company has generated interest from several investors, including Google’s Launchpad accelerator program, and has raised around $1M in funding. They plan to use the capital to expand their team and develop more features for their app.
Foyer’s approach to providing developers with helpful nudges has the potential to revolutionize the industry by helping them avoid expensive mistakes. Developers can work more efficiently with the insights gained from Tap Merlin. Even in the time of the pandemic and uncertain times, Foyer is moving forward and trying to make a difference.
